[lbo-talk] climate change

[Alan Rudy]

Oh keerist, stop beating an obfuscatory dead horse... climate change is not
the same as global warming, minor diversions from a linear warming (which is
not predicted by any of the main models) do absolutely nothing to undermine
the broader understanding of climate change as tendencies towards more
extreme climatic events alongside long term tendencies towards warming as
measured in terms of the global average.  The other critical comments in
this thread are also valuable.
